Mozilla Firefox Free

Firefox Browser has always been known for its flexibility and support for extensions, but in recent years it had started to lag behind the competition in terms of speed. Firefox Quantum, first released last year, represented a total overhaul of the browser’s code base, with speeds now comparable with Google Chrome. That’s not just on top-end computers, either – the new Firefox makes frugal use of RAM, even with masses of tabs open.

Firefox also scores serious points when it comes to privacy. Mozilla is non-profit, which means it doesn’t have the same impetus to sell your data as some other browser developers. The organization also makes regular updates to help protect its users’ privacy as internet companies come under increasing scrutiny over the way they treat people’s data.

FireFox Quantum also introduced a new system for extensions that prevents rogue developers making malicious changes to the browser’s internal code.

It’s not always the absolute fastest – for some pages Chrome still has the edge, as Mozilla’s own video demonstrates – but the new Firefox has come out swinging and is our pick for the best web browser of 2018 so far.

FireFox Features

Browse without a trace
Sharing is caring, but that should be your call. Firefox Private Browsing automatically erases your online info like passwords, cookies and history from your computer. So that when you close out, you leave no trace.

File that bookmark
Get your faves all sorted with the bookmark star icon, which lets you add custom names and folders quickly. Then dial in your bookmarks toolbar to make sure you never lose sight of the links you love.

Speed up your computer
Every computer program you run takes up some memory. When too much is used, your system can slooooowww down. Firefox aims for a balance — using enough memory to let you browse smoothly and leaving plenty of memory to keep your computer responsive.

Use less memory
No one likes a computer hog! Firefox is a lean, mean (actually we’re pretty nice) browsing machine. Since we use less RAM than Chrome, your other programs can keep running at top speed.
